Generation Legacy Issue #13 "Genocide" - Part 1

[Hammerhead]

Tina’s smile fizzles, “I really don’t want to talk about that. I learned how to fight on the streets… let’s just leave it at that.”

"Sorry," Ryan says, his smile fading. "Forget I said anything." I know that I have a few things that I don't exactly like bringing up in conversation. But I do want to figure out what Tina's history is, without bringing up any unpleasant memories or anything for her. "With the security lockdown we're afflicted with, I think our options are kind of limited. Unless we decide to break the rules."

But I do want to figure out what Tina's history is, without bringing up any unpleasant memories or anything for her. "With the security lockdown we're afflicted with, I think our options are kind of limited. Unless we decide to break the rules."

Tina shrugs, “Yeah.” She listens to Ryan talk about the security restriction, “I would have tried to sneak out eventually but I am not about to break the rules this soon after Stick Girl gave me the good news. Any idea on when they are going to give us some freedom, someone is going to snap if we don’t get a chance to get out.”

She takes a seat at her desk, “I am still a little shaken about that demon summoning… I am not sure what to make of that. I mean I could handle people flying, shooting beams from their hands, and all the other things elites bring to the table… but real magic and demons, that is something else.”

Cassie winces at the pain, but leaps up and rebounds off a wall as she moves to do a full flurry of attacks on her foe. "You're a damn fool if you think you're going to do any better at her task than I would."

OOC: Full out attack: Base attack +11, Strike +8.
and I'd like to buy a clue mr. wizard. (spending a HP to figure out what the hell I'm supposed to be doing )

Cassie strikes her double with a vicious combo of attacks that leave her raven haired self, reeling. Cassie’s double growls, “You have no idea how much better suited I am… you are weak, pathetic, and deluded. What is that you fight for, yourself? You have nothing. Fight for your friends? They will abandon you. Your ideals? Idealism is dead, you are nothing, and soon you will be nothing but memory… and even memories die.”

Cassie rolls a 26 attack, her double rolls a 17 Toughness save, and she is Bruised, Injured, and Stunned. Spending the HP for a clue… Cassie is in a battle for control of her mind win or lose, she will have to decide for herself what she wants to be, who she is, or what she is can only be determined by her. Not much of a clue because essentially this battle is a battle for her mind, if she fails she could be trapped in this mindscape for ever; if she wins the other Cassie will not die and will linger.

"I have always said that following your gut is a good thing, it will generally lead you down the right path." Gilden responds while he finishes his food. "This reality seems to have a lot of shades of grey, sometimes you must pick the lesser evil and work to make it better but how do you do that if you turn your back on it and walk away?"

Karen nods, "It feels like it was the right decision, that much I'm certain off. I just got a bad feeling about the consequences. Mostly because part of my decision was based on information I got from Bishop... and Paragon knows this, I'm pretty certain of it anyway, and he's already shown he'll use force if he thinks we might work against him, even when it's not necessary..."

"I don't want to decide over life and death, I don't have that right... I'm not sure if anyone really should have... I understand sometimes it's necessary but no ... not me," the ruby teen replies quietly, though the look on her face tells she's quite convinced on this matter.

Tina shrugs, “Yeah.” She listens to Ryan talk about the security restriction, “I would have tried to sneak out eventually but I am not about to break the rules this soon after Stick Girl gave me the good news.

"They're probably going to lift the restriction after a few days; almost certainly after we take down Genocide. That's the way it was after Mark nearly got killed; that was an eventful night," Ryan comments.

"So you can handle the whole 'end of the world' thing we're dealing with, but not whatever the hell Gilden does," Ryan asks with a smile. "I'm not really sure if what he does can be called 'magic,' but it does serve as a reminder that there's a lot of strange stuff out there. At least it means we don't get bored here."

"Well, you must be telepathic, because you knew what I was getting at," she jokes with a grin. "We certainly would appreciate your help if you're willing to give it, but I was thinking something a little more permanent. If you were willing to stay here in this dimension, we could use you as a member of Legacy.

"And, yeah, not all of us are super-cosmic-energy-man, like Ryan, but we all do our part. I've seen you in action both here and with Teen Justice, and I think you'd fill a niche on the team nicely." She shrugs, "You can think about it. It'll take some commitment on your part, but it's entirely up to you. If you're going to help us anyway, it's not so bad to get paid to do the job."

“That is a crazy story Mark,” Roland smirks, “Tell me another story! Do you like what you do?”

Mark laughed, "Well I really like not getting beat up by big, strong elites! I could do that all day! What do you do, besides swimming and soccer?"

SARAH replies, “My emotions are irrelevant to this discussion, and yes I am quite capable of learning and adapting. You make some outrageous claims Tim, I am curious where you get your information.”

There is mild amusement in the AI’s voice, “I think you do not understand, I am incapable of hiding my actions from the Security Staff they are well aware of your search, and your paranoia. If they did not want you to complete this search they could just say so, so obviously such information gathering is either not viewed as illegal, or is sanctioned by the staff because it assists a member of Legacy.”

SARAH then pauses for a long moment, “Why do you believe the UNJE to be such a dangerous entity? Explain that with evidence to support your claim and perhaps I may consider another avenue of investigation.”

SARAH freezes all communications, withholding her information for the moment, and cutting off Tim’s searches. SARAH finishes, “I am waiting.”

He leans back and growled, "I knew it was a waste to try and argue. You've been fed the party line as much as anyone. My personal opinion about the UN is for the moment irrelevant. The reason for my extra caution in regards to doing the research in regards to Cardinal is that we do not know what sources she has at her disposal. All it takes is one person inside who has loyalties elsewhere. That is the reason for my concern, nothing more."

He got up suddenly, "But ... if you want to do the research by yourself, fine. Ryan asked me for a reason, instead of just asking you. Perhaps he didnt consider asking you, or perhaps he had reasons for not wanting to make it an official Legacy request. I don't know either way."

He changed into some workout clothes, obviously annoyed, "I'm going to go blow some steam. If you decide to let me pursue the research, when I get back, we'll continue getting the information. Either way, I'm outta here for awhile."

“I think it is quite relevant, your increased stress patterns speak volumes,” SARAH replies, “you don’t like the UNJE, and that much is obvious.”

He got up suddenly, "But ... if you want to do the research by yourself, fine. Ryan asked me for a reason, instead of just asking you. Perhaps he didnt consider asking you, or perhaps he had reasons for not wanting to make it an official Legacy request. I don't know either way."

SARAH does not answer.

“Enjoy your workout Tim, I apologize for upsetting you,” SARAH finishes.

Mark

Roland is about to respond when SARAH chimes in, “Mark the security staff request your assistance in an urgent matter. This cannot wait. Please report to your room immediately.”

Anika

Aya thinks it over for a moment, “Okay, a commitment sure, and getting paid to take down the bad guys would be a change of pace from my last gig. But I want to know that after some time if I decide to, I can return to my own world, just in case you know. I mean I still have friends there… but at the same time I know that I can do some good around here.”

SARAH chimes in, “Anika the security staff request your assistance in an urgent matter. This cannot wait. Please report to Mark's room immediately.”

Ryan

“Mark nearly got killed, who would want to hurt pretty boy?” Tina asks curiously.

“Yeah I guess I can handle the end of the world stuff, but the magic and demons stuff is just a little weird… maybe I am just weird? I should get used to this sort of thing because it seems to be the normal thing at this school. And here I thought you guys were all just stuck up asses. Well besides you, you were just a jerk,” she shrugs, “but so am I, well… people use another term for me, but you know what I mean.”

 

[Samnell]

Roland is about to respond when SARAH chimes in, “Mark the security staff request your assistance in an urgent matter. This cannot wait. Please report to your room immediately.”

Mark smiled sadly at Roland, "Sorry. Have to do this some other time." Kicking his speed to full, Mark leaped up and raced across the pool and to his room. He didn't bother to stop for a towel.
